Started this book for June #BookClub. Borrowed it on #Libby. So far, once we got to the housekeeping part, it got better and in a better flow, even the romance has appeared.

The Undomestic Goddess is an all around laugh out loud, feel good read for those who need a little “pick me up” and a quick reminder that even when life goes left, it may still be going right.

If I‘ve learned one lesson from all that‘s happened to me, it‘s that there is no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There‘s no such thing as ruining your life. Life‘s a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.

Finsihed reading this in a day!
If you're looking for a quick, fun, light read; something to chill and relax with bunch of cocktails, this is a go to book for that! Can't believe this was not made in to a movie. This book gives you the feels of a #romcom.

⭐⭐⭐/5 : Funny, simple and enjoyable!

It‘s officially my birth month & while I‘m usually excited for June to come around, it‘s kinda impossible right now. Other than my birthday, me, my girls, & my mom usually have at least one trip lined up, but not this year. The state of the world is weighing on me. 😔 I‘m going to curl up with Kinsella, a comfort author for me. It‘s also my first book for #readyoursign. I‘m very grateful that Litsy is always here when I need positivity in my life!

alisiakae I think I will be rotating between comfort reads and books that challenge and stretch my thinking this month. 😊 4y
Meaw_catlady I‘m glad you can take some comfort in litsy! And happy birth month ! 4y
ulyssesartmiller It's definitely been tough this year, no doubt about it. All we can do is take it one day at a time. I hope Kinsella is as comforting as she usually is for you, and I hope you find some joy for your birthday! 4y

Not really enjoying this book sebab rasa macam slow gilak. But still worth reading since there‘s valuable input. The book teach us to make decision based on what make ourselves happy rather than being influenced by others. Yes, people listens to your rants. They stick with you if you‘re on top of the world. But they wont really give a damn if your ship is heading the wrong way and start sinking, no?

#Celebration makes me think of food, which made me think of Kinsella's novel because its title was influenced by Nigella Lawson's cookbook.

Picture shows German edition I intend to give to a friend this Yule. The title translates to Goddess in Wellingtons.

Avanders This was such a fun book ☺️ 4y
Megabooks Is the word for Wellington‘s a German brand name (like Wellington‘s) or is it a generic term for all outdoor boots? For some reason I‘m very curious! 4y
julesG @Megabooks Erm?! It's the British word for rubber boots that I learned. 4y
See All 9 Comments
julesG @Megabooks BTW, German doesn't have a generic term, we just call them rubber boots. 4y
MaGoose I'm going out on a limb here to say that in English, Wellingtons has passed from being a brand name to a generic name for rubber boots. Just like Kleenex for facial tissues or Google for doing an internet search. 4y
julesG @MaGoose Thanks. That's what I was trying to say. And I was Aldo thinking of Kleenex, and Hoover. 😸 4y
marleed I loved reading this thread because I‘ve always thought the word wellies was such a fun term so much happier on a cloudy, rainy day than, ‘Be sure to wear your rubber boots.‘ 4y
Megabooks So the German word wasn‘t once a brand is what I‘m trying to ask? Maybe I wasn‘t clear. It just translates as rubber boots? I always thought galoshes were the same as Wellies, but a more American term. But apparently galoshes fit over your existing shoes, and wellies are generally shoes on their own. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y
julesG @Megabooks Right. The German term just translates as rubber/gum boots. 4y

It's #Hour18 on the #24in48 #readathon.

#romancelovechallenge

The first English language romance I read was Outlander. A friend had talked me into it. That was 20+ years ago. I used to read a lot of crime/thriller/murder mystery, but have gradually shifted towards romance and historical romance over those two decades.

Nowadays I seem to read more romance than any other genre. Guess I like to see/read other people falling in love.

The Fool

I took a picture of the German edition of the tagged book, I gave away the English edition some years ago.

The MC of this Kinsella rom-com is a perfect example of the fool. She runs away from her life as a lawyer, starting work as a housekeeper without knowing anything about housekeeping. But she's a fast learner. She also meets the right guy for a passionate new start.

Unfortunately, I disliked this book. I‘ve read a few other Kinsella books and enjoyed them. This one had its moments and made me laugh. But I thought the premise was highly unbelievable and the ending was myopic. Not for me.

I love all of Sophie Kinsella's books, but this might be my favorite.
The first scene introducing the main character is the funny description of the main character texting while getting a massage. She is a total overachiever who gets fired and through a series of misunderstandings gets hired as someone's housekeeper. Has one of the hottest, sex scenes without being gratuitously graphic. Great ending too.

Comic Relief for the Soul (And the ebooks are on sale atm! $1.99 down from $11.99).

It‘s not sci-fi or fantasy, but there‘s a method to the madness. We‘ve all gone through reading slumps. When it happens to me, I take it as a sign that I need something different. Maybe I don‘t need another tense, harrowing plot. Maybe I need some old-fashioned comedy relief.
